From Booklist:

Three generations of a bunny family go out to gather vegetables for their stew. After a satisfying morning in the garden, they return home to peel and chop, and cook. When two little bunnies help carry the pot to the table, one slips, dumping their dinner onto the floor. However, the spill doesn't dampen the characters' spirits for long. Disappointed but forgiving, the family pitches in to clean up the house and forage for a different but still delicious dinner. The eight bunnies are always paired ("Bunny seven and bunny eight / bounce down the path and through the gate") in the bouncy, rhyming text. The book could be used for counting practice, but children will probably be content to enjoy the cozy bustle of the bunnies' activities. Chorao's soft strokes and washes of colors create sunny scenes that brim with activity and winsome details. A cheerful romp for young children. Carolyn Phelan
